- Objects : are the instantiation of classes and encloses some member functions and member variables (properties or attributes).
- Properties : are the object's member variables.
- Methods : are the object's member functions, a fucntion differs from a method that it can have a return and can be assigned to another value,
member methods can be accessed from the object using the dot syntax
foobar.startRenderer();. - Event Handlers : are overridable interfaces with some methods that are used for invoking some actions when something remotely takes place (like listening for sensor's data or button clicks or an analog device).
